The owners of grocery stores, restaurants and other types of property have a responsibility to keep it safe when they invite the public in. They need to do regular maintenance and upkeep to ensure that people are not injured by defects or hazards such as:
- Spilled liquids (dish soap, cooking oil, beverages, etc.)
- Dropped produce
- Defective stairs
- Broken pavement
- Unsecured entrance mats
Anything that could cause someone to slip and fall or trip and fall needs to be regularly watched out for and addressed. There should be regularly scheduled janitorial and maintenance sweeps to catch issues that could harm someone.
If a property owner fails in these responsibilities and someone is injured as a result, the property owner should compensate the person who was injured.
What Should You Do If You Have Been Injured In A Slip-And-Fall Accident?
Seek medical attention right away and report all your injuries and symptoms. But, also, work to begin securing information right away. Look for what you slipped or tripped on and take photos with your cellphone. Get the names and telephone numbers of people who may have seen what happened. Contact an attorney who can begin working for you as soon as possible. Evidence such as video surveillance footage may be recorded over if you wait to begin taking action.
